Anybody else noticed that on weekdays the children need to be woken for school, but on weekends they wake up earlier than if it was school.
And all you want is a lie in!

Which is why I find it amazing that people think stable coins will be the future. Well, it might be a future but not necessarily the one they thought it would be.

.net developer. Market has been awful. Haven't worked for 7 months. Summer was fine, spent a lot of time working on my garden. Winter not so fun but I've been helping a mate out with odd jobs. Manual labour but I honestly prefer it. Pay is nowhere near the same but it is what it is.
I've been building apps for fun with AI and I honestly don't see the market for developers ever coming back.
I was only thinking this week... At what point am I no longer a developer??
You enjoying the farm work?

That sounds like a very high failure rate. My experience (for what it's worth) is that it's pretty damn good.

2026-01-15 08:51:45 UTC

Just tried #bitchat, couldn't work it out. It said something about changing location information in settings but where the hell is settings? And which settings? The app settings or the phone settings? Very unclear.
Also, it would be cool if you could send the app from your phone without internet so you can propagate it when there is no internet via Bluetooth

Yeah I'm still holding on. The worst thing about the last 6 months is that I haven't had a job (Software contractor) so there's been no money to buy more.
I think we're going to do very well in the next few years, maybe even in the next few months.

I'm now building entire complex apps without writing a single line of code in a language I've never used for a device I've never written for. There's been such a big change in just 6 months that I don't really see software engineering existing soon.

Trying to buy bitcoin recently. Never had a problem before but lately the banks seem to be putting in more barriers in the #Uk

I'm not sure really. But apparently there's a lot of trash talking on the LSE website. I just ignore it all and let the magic happen.

2025-07-17 08:17:04 UTC

Yeah me too. Although this week has been brutal on the share price the underlying operation and stacking is going really well. I have a long time preference so it doesn't matter really. 5 years this could be insanely good. Just like mstr was.

Been a while since I checked here. I didn't sell any calls or puts or any options trading.
I did however sell all the #mstr I held in my pension and moved it entirely to #SWC
I'll either be ok or broke.

Obviously we shouldn't work for pieces of paper but money serves a very useful purpose. Mainly the misalignment of wants. I can't remember the term but without money we only have barter and that fails fairly quickly.

Ask him if Reform will promote bitcoin as a store of value. If they will treat it as money and not an asset so it can be used for a medium if exchange. If a future Reform government will start buying it for the country. Thanks

I've started buying them in addition to mstr.
For the UK crowd - not all brokers let you buy them or if they do you need a minimum £10k spend and you have to do it over the phone. How archaic.
Interactive brokers however do allow you to buy them and in lots of 100 shares each

Any #uk readers don't even think about #msty
The UK system is rigged against you. The only real option you have is to write your own covered calls in #mstr
